I once had Hotmail take forever to get past the loading screen, then actually navigating my mail was hellishly slow. Switched my user agent to Edge and “magically” it loaded instantly and everything was snappy…
Had a few other sites do similar slowdowns but that and Youtube were the most unashamedly blatant.
Some websites do this.
Change the user agent to windows and it works.
Fuxk you piece of shit!
Amazon does this too. After you bought a movie you can’t watch it in full hd on Linux. User agent doesn’t help.
However if you tell their api that you are an smart tv running Linux it works…
The amazon might be due to drm, not OS racism, not that that’s a valid excuse
Same goes if you’re running Firefox.
